Side by Side (Non-Medicare Emeriti/Retirees)

NOTE: Click on the tables above to clarify.

The picture for non-Medicare retirees and emeriti is more mixed than for actives when it comes to UC health insurance. Some categories are actually showing premium decreases or freezes. Most non-Medicare covered retirees and emeriti are presumably those who retired early before the Medicare eligibility age of 65. Some may not have become eligible for Medicare by working in non-covered employment situations.
